How to make assignee required / mandatory when creating an issue (Jira 4.2)?

A project lead asked me to make in her project the assignee mandatory when creating an issue. However there is not "required" option in the configuration screen (See pic) . I appreciate if anyone could assit me in how to achieve to make the assignee mandatory in a Jira project. I am using Jira 4.2

Regards

Carlos

PS: The project is set up that the default assignee is Unassigned (If this is of help)

In such case, there is not way to do it by default in JIRA, however this can be achieve by using a third party plugin call JIRA Suite Utilities , which has a set of conditions and validations to personalize workflow of JIRA.

Bother, that rules out my initial thought on what might be wrong. I must admit I'm now a bit stuck, because I can only think of one way of surpressing the "required" flag, and you've just ruled it out.
